2016 Nursing Applicants!

It's been almost a month! How did they contact you?

Nope, not at all. Questions you would expect really. Let others speak in the group interview but don't go unheard, use this as an opportunity to really show your communication skills. The individual interview was also fine, just show your passion and that you know what you are talking about and what you are getting yourself in for.

I've been invited for an interview and tests at the University of East Anglia on the 5th of December, Kings college London on the 9th of December, and at Coventry on the 14th of December. Is anyone going to any of these interviews?

Just sent off my ucas application last night I'm a mature student (haha 24, not that old!) Applying for adult nursing at University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan and Salford. I'm currently doing the Access to Higher Education Diploma and really enjoying it so far! I have two young children and I volunteer at a care home . Would be nice to hear from some other people applying to the Manchester universities, I'm quite nervous! Xx

Hiya,

I had an interview with Manchester on Wednesday and heard back with an offer from them last night. The interview was really informal and chatty so you have absolutely nothing to worry about!

Best wishes

Thank you for the reply, well done on getting an offer that's amazing manchester is a great university! Oh that's great I hate situations when questions are just fired at you left right and centre! if you don't mind me asking how long after you sent your ucas did they reply with an interview offer? X

Congratulations on your selection day. Don't panic! My Maths isn't great either (got a C at GCSE about 6 years ago and have done none since!) And I've passed all the Maths tests I've been to so far! BBC GCSE Bitesize is really good so try using that. The things to revise are fractions and decimals, percentages (and being able to convert them to fractions etc.) And converting between mililitres and litres. The questions won't be super difficult! On the day try not to panic and make sure you have included a unit if they've asked for one.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine!

But it's also made reality hit and I'm so nervous about leaving them next year! 😂🙈 all so so worth it though and it'll be amazing Again, good luck! I'm sure you'll do amazing!
